Lomtalanítás is a typical event of big city life. There is a certain period when you can put everything you dont need anymore to the street and the local government of your district will collect all the used funitures, fridges, TV sets..etc. This photo I took in the VIII. district (the poorest area of Budapest) where the lomtalanítás has just started.
A whole industry is around this event. As soon as it starts a lot of strange cars or carriages appear and people collect everything they find useful or worth to sell before the local government’s trucks arrive. A city-life strategy for surviving poverty….
